Crews were seen chopping up the massive tree Thursday afternoon, Sloan reported.

PATH service was suspended for more than an hour between Newark and Journal Square after strong winds damaged a Conrail overhead wire pole causing it to lean over the tracks just west of the Journal Square station, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said.

A crane was brought in to make repairs and service was restored around 10:45 a.m.

Meanwhile, the New York City Department of Buildings said all construction sites and buildings should have been secured due to the high winds.

The buildings department issued the reminder to builders, contractors and property owners. It also conducted random inspections of construction sites around the city and warned it would take immediate enforcement action if the sites were not properly secured.

In Ossining, Westchester County, a church steeple teetered on the edge, wobbling because of high winds and frightening even the most faithful, Sloan reported.

“God forbid it does fall and hits someone or a car. It’s an unfortunate situation,” said witness Karina Salvador.

“It’s not structurally sound right now with the high winds that we’re having,” said Ossining’s Assistant Fire Chief Matthew Scarduzio.

Back in Park Ridge, crews were transferring power lines to a new pole and said they hoped to have the entire area cleaned up and the road reopened by late Thursday.
